The Atlas Coalition War is a large conflict that involved most major powers of the World.

War

As a response to Renatian-Marnantine posturing and aggressive foreign policy, the human realms of the Kingdom of Haense, the Kingdom of Santegia-Haria, and the Principality of Curon formed the Czena Confederation as a mutual defense alliance. However, King Aurelius I of Renatus-Marna would refuse to be strongarmed into submission and immediately laid plans to dismantle the Czena Confederation through subversion. After some secretive negotiations between Renatus-Marna and Curon, the latter was coerced into denouncing the Confederation of Czena and allying with Renatus-Marna. All the while, the King of Santegia-Haria, Leo I de Savin was pressured into abdicating the throne in favor of Achillius Horen de Savin. This action secured Renatus a strong ally in the east. Ultimately, the final nail in the coffin would be the formation of the Northern Atlas Alliance which comprised of signatories from Renatus-Marna, the Dominion of Malin, the Warnation of Krugmar, the Kingdom of Santegia, the Kingdom of Kaz'Ulrah, and the Principality of Curon.

With the Czena Confederation de facto dismantled, the Kingdom of Haense had thus found themselves diplomatically isolated from the human realms. As a result, King Karl II of Haense turned elsewhere for alliances. He thus allied himself with the Sohaerate of Haelun'or and the heathenous Kingdom of Norland, which the Canonist Realms had fought to subdue only a few decades prior. This alliance came to be known as the United Southern Alliance.

However, this alliance would draw the ire of Northern Atlas Alliance. A war council was quickly convened and the sovereigns of each realm were summoned to Ard'Arrav in an event known as the First Northern Atlas Alliance War Council. Top brass from all nations debated for hours on end regarding strategy and logistics. At the end of the meeting, it was agreed upon by all that their mutual enemies stood as the Kingdoms of Haense and Norland, and the Sohaerate of Haelun'or. The Northern Atlas Alliance would then raise their banners for war, quickly marching to take the offensive.
